2. See Joseph Stiglitz, Freefall (2010), 243–46.

4. Stiglitz, Freefall, 202. He says only that markets “undersupply” public goods, and he gives the example of knowledge. But knowledge can in part be packaged and marketed, e.g., in the sale of books. Perhaps in part he uses a broader meaning of “public goods,” one that includes important social values or goals, whether or not they might have to be available to all without an itemized fee (as opposed to the use of tax money and regulation to promote the goal).
